Advocacy of best practice

There is a long road ahead for the adequate regulation and accreditation of healthcare professionals actively engaged in intraoperative neurophysiology.

Clinical and academic standards

Develop and pursue standards relating to best practice of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring in the Asia Pacific region, with the ultimate goal of optimizing patient care and promoting the development of a novel healthcare community.

Education and accreditation

Provide access to educational materials and promote opportunities for networking and academia relating to best practice, in the form of lectures, profiles, online and in-person meetings and other content that represents value for members.

Build the knowledge base

Develop and complement the existing knowledge base relating to the practice of intraoperative neurophysiology in neurosurgery, orthopaedic surgery, vascular surgery and research & development relating to the ongoing development of brain computer interfaces.

Who do we represent?

Neurophysiology scientists engaged in the independent practice of intraoperative neurological monitoring, should hold a minimum qualification of a bachelor degree majoring in a medical science related field with particular emphasis in clinical electrophysiology. A post graduate qualification with particular emphasis in clinical neuroscience may be acceptable. A qualified surgeon, anaesthetist, neurologist nurse or representative can be considered a neurophysiology scientist or neurophysiologist by this document and association if they hold a relevant qualification in clinical neurophysiology and perform intraoperative neurological monitoring as a standalone role within the operating theatre.
